I always have a few special treats handy when the grandchildren visit. These cake doughnuts are a favorite snack.

2 eggs
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup lemon-lime soda
oil for deep-fat frying
additional sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and shortening. Add the pumpkin, vinegar and vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients; add to the pumpkin mixture alternately with soda.
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels; roll in sugar while warm. Yield: about 7 dozen.
